ROOM 144 There is a place facing the sea, as simple as it is decadent, that invites you to let yourself go. Sometimes it is not the place, sometimes it is not the time, sometimes it is not the why, sometimes it is simply the need to break or disconnect from the routine, which often raises the question of where to go. You go. The initial intention of traveling alone for the first time was not to know myself, or to rediscover myself, nor was it even to test my courage as to whether I would be capable or not. The initial intention was much simpler, and yet it was wonderful to feel all those emot ..read more

FUJI X WEEKLY Quiet Corner – Tempe, AZ – Fujifilm X-T5 – CineStill 800T CineStill 800T is a motion picture color negative film with the Remjet layer removed so that it can be developed in standard C41 chemistry. It’s actually repackaged Kodak Vision3 500T, which requires the ECN-2 development process. The “T” in the name means that it’s Tungsten-balanced, and is intended for use in artificial light; in daylight, it has a strong blue cast (unless you pair it with a color correction filter, such as Type 85), so most people use it at night. Because the Remjet layer has been removed, it’s pro ..read more

FUJI X WEEKLY Nature of Architecture – Buckeye, AZ – Fujifilm X-Pro2 – Provia Slide This Provia Slide Film Simulation Recipe doesn’t necessarily do a great job of replicating real Fujichrome Provia 100F or 400X color transparency film. I did find some examples that weren’t far off at all, but I believe it was more in how they were scanned and edited than anything else. One film can have many different looks based on a whole host of factors, and there is a by-chance resemblance to some Provia 100F pictures, but this Recipe is not a good facsimile for most Provia transparencies. I wasn’t attempt ..read more

FUJI X WEEKLY Fujifilm X100VI Recently, a lot of people have asked me which Fujifilm cameras do I recommend. Should they buy an X100VI? X-T5? X-H2? X-S20? You get the idea. This is an impossible question for me to answer because it is personal; what I might like in a camera you might dislike, as each person’s needs, experiences, and priorities are different. Still, I’ll try to give some thoughtful answers. To make this even more challenging, some Fujifilm cameras are difficult to get. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Should you patiently wait for the Fujifilm X1 ..read more

FUJILOVE MAGAZINE With Fujifilm ever expanding and reiterating the lens lineup with sharp, well-corrected lenses, I wonder if Fujifilm got it right the first time with the compact and pleasing trio. As the spiritual successor of the Contax G, the X-Pro1, Fujifilm’s rangefinder for the mirrorless age, not only teased at a future lineage with its nomenclature but came with three astounding lenses that drew more than a little inspiration from the Contax G Zeiss lineup. Whilst the X-Pro1 shows its age as a first-generation mirrorless with a ‘strange’ X-Trans sensor, the same cannot be said for the ..read more

Fuji Rumors At the last X Summit in February, Fujifilm promised substantial Kaizen firmware love for several cameras to come between spring and summer. Now the first batch of firmware updates has been released for the first cameras, and it includes autofocus improvements, touch to track AF in video, red frame indicator in video and more.

Fuji Rumors  Fujifilm GFX User Group I have received word by an anonymous source (thanks), that the Fujifilm GFX100SII will be announced in “around 6 weeks”. Let’s do the math: the message has been sent to me on April 8, so 6 weeks later would mean the announcement should happen around May 20. But since… The post Fujifilm GFX100SII Announcement in Around 6 Weeks appeared first on Fuji Rumors.

Fuji Rumors The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 XF has been launched over a week ago. But strangely it came without any reviews published on launch day.

FUJI X WEEKLY You might have noticed that I began including affiliate links for Nuzira. Most likely you’ve never heard of them, so let me introduce you—it’s actually a fascinating story. Located at 9420 East Doubletree Ranch Road—a nondescript industrial business park in Scottsdale, Arizona—is Nuzira. Walking in the door to Suite 107, I was immediately greeted by Lollipop, a kind and gentle dog with a short tail that wags quickly. As I stepped inside, I shook hands Lucas, who has a warm smile and an affinity for fedoras. This isn’t a typical camera store. Nuzira began in 2009 when Lucas and Je ..read more
